(1) I think 为主句，后面是省略了连接词that的宾语从句。

如: These pictures are more colourful than those ones.
3. Hmm, I’ve never seen it, so I’m not sure I agree with you.
(1) 并列连词so 连接两个分句， 表因果关系。

4. That sounds great, though I think Victory Falls in Africa is even more fantastic.
though 作连词, “虽然; 尽管”, 引导让步状语从句, 从句可放在主句前或主句后, 不能与but 或however 出现在同一个句子中。

Though he was tired, he went on working.
Lucy often helps me with my English, though she is very busy.
